OK guys, time to "show and tell". Lets get some pics up, with a brief description, of all these exchange arrows. Here's mine from Brother Dan:
Cedar arrow (I think), 28" BOP and marked 55-60# with turkey fletch and Ace broadhead. Shaft has a very nice finish with a crest and crown. Proud to call you brother, brother Dan ;D! Very nice arrow! Thanks........Art B
PS Weight of your arrow is a little heavy for me, so don't be surprised if I "borrow" that broadhead for this hunting season.

Heres what came in the mail to me yesterday from The Osage Outlaw, thanks Clint this is a finely crafted and deadly
lookin' arrow.
Cane or boo, not sure, with a real nice trade point that Clint fashioned from a band saw blade, single bevel which I always prefer and a sharp edge. Weighs 644 grains on my scale, nice hunting weight. Wild turkey 3 flecthed with
the hen feathers dyed green and very neatly thread wrapped front and back. Trade point mounted with pitch glue
and also has a very tidy tread wrap behind the point.
Shot a few rounds with it out back and it brought a smile to my face, this is a serious hunting arrow guys. I'm sure
proud to have it in my quiver. Thanks Clint :)

Glad you like it. I hope it flies straight for you.

Believe it or not but that is tapered ash. The stain is an old method used by early gunsmiths on curly maple. It goes on kind of translucent and goes to this dark color when heat is applied. I hope they fly good for you. By the way. Those are Magnus Eclipse heads.
-
I really like the arrows Mark.i didn't know they were ash.i thought walnut.i'll be hunting with them as soon as I get the chance.thank you so much.

I received a text from my wife yesterday letting me know that the mailman had dropped off a tube for me. I knew what it had to be. When I got home I found a PVC tube with the return address of Matt Wirwicki on it and my excitement spiked. Matt has been a great help to me at shoots as I learn to build bows and I have witnessed him help countless others. His work is second to none and receiving one of his arrows in this trade has made my day. Thanks Matt!
The arrow shaft is I believe river cane, fletched in a 3 fletch pattern with turkey feathers, and equipped with a vintage and wicked looking 1953 Cobra 6. Absolutely outstanding arrow Matt! I can't thank you enough.

And here's the cool arrow I got from Clayton, "smoky #1". I don't know what the wood is but it has a self nock, turkey tail feathers and a sharp trade point. Thanks, Mr. Porter.

Cool arrows guys! 8)
Matt Wirwicki, how about telling us a little something about that hunting head. Very interesting! Never seen one like it myself. Unique to say the least. How about a side profile pic please............Art B

Here's a couple more pics of the head Art:

That's one cool looking head Dan! Thanks for the pics............Art B
-
That's no problem Art, I like mine a little heavy, just throw on a field point, and hang it up. Glad you like it. BDan
PS. Art, I have a few of those heads that Matt sent DGF. If you want one I can send you one.
-
I would love to have one of those heads Dan! Much appreciated, thanks...........Art B

Here are the awesome arrows PatB sent me fell like I won the arrow lottery thanks Pat they shoot great hope to make meat with both ;)

Lucky!

;D

Glad they got there safe and sound, Ozzy and glad they fly well for you. That is the most important part of an arrow anyway. ;)
I got home from work today to find a cardboard tube from Fred Arnold in my chair. ;D Inside were 2 well made Tonkin cane arows with selfnocks, turkey 2fletch and two different but very effective looking trade points. These arrows will certainly be a bonus to my collection and will make great hunting arrows. I haven't shot them yet but I know they will fly well. 8)
Thanks Fred! Unfortunately, Photobucket is messing with me again and I can't get the 3 pics I took to copy. :-[
-
Glad you like the arrow, DGF! I have a few more of those heads if anyone is interested. They are pretty cool, to say the least. Looks like an old B-(something or other) bomber.
-
Thanks for everyone posting and really making me sorry I didn't jump into this exchange. I am in complete misery for not having a chance at any of these arrows. Keep Posting!

I received a beautiful shoot arrow stained with natural pigments and mounted with a buffalo bone point from Dan K. Couldn't have been a better arrow to start my collection with as it's the first wooden shoot arrow and bone point that I've ever had. Dan sent an extra point for me to mount in case I decide to take game with it and break the first one. I'll try not to disappoint. Thanks Dan >>>Fred
-
Glad you like it Fred. A lot more fun to make a gift than for yourself that's for sure.
Cheers!
Dan

Your not kidding Fred that is a beauty, nice work Dan

Okay, I got home ate last night and found a shipping tube awaiting my arrival. My arrow(s) from Sadie Jane were here. I just have one major problem with them. I AM NOT WORTHY. These are works of art. Cane shafts, turkey feathers that are thread wrapped. A beautiful bone head. The other is just like the first except for target shooting with what looks like a nail head. These will be hanging on the wall with my 78 year old Osage Selfbow.
I forgot to mention the self nocks.
Thank you so much Sadie.
-
All great looking arrows! This is turning out to be one of the best Exchanges we've had on PA. Thanks for starting it you Old Hippy. ;D
-
Lucky!
You know Ozzy and I have the same mail lady and I'm going to see how much it's gonna cost me to intercept a great gift like that! >:D really nice Pat!

Anyone else want to share? Art

All the arrows look great. I agree with Mullet and Im bummed I didnt join the exhange. Maybe we can do this more often since it requires way less time than the bow exchange.
-
I would try it again maybe this time it will not get broke. Wish I could have hunted with it.
